This patch offers a way to fix FS#9228.
By putting "SyncFirst = pacman" in pacman.conf, the version check will
happen before the transaction really starts, and before any replacements is
made.
Otherwise, no version check is done.
The sync301 pactest was updated to use this SyncFirst option.
Example session with SyncFirst = pacman, and a newer pacman version
available :
$ pacman -Su (or pacman -S <any targets>)
:: the following packages should be upgraded first :
pacman
:: Do you want to cancel the current operation
:: and upgrade these packages now? [Y/n]
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
Targets: pacman-x.y.z-t
Total Download Size: x.xx MB
Total Installed Size: x.xx MB
Proceed with installation? [Y/n] n
As Nagy previously noted, doing this check on any -S operations might look
intrusive, but it can be required.
For example, the case where you want to install a package with versioned
provisions, using a pacman version which didn't support that feature yet
(and there is already a newer pacman in sync db supporting it).

From http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/config.html#cfg_javadoc_autobrief
JAVADOC_AUTOBRIEF
If the JAVADOC_AUTOBRIEF is set to YES then doxygen will interpret the
first line (until the first dot) of a JavaDoc-style comment as the brief
description. If set to NO (the default), the Javadoc-style will behave just
like regular Qt-style comments (thus requiring an explicit @brief command
for a brief description.)

As it was already mentioned several times, the new -Sc behavior in 3.1 is
great, but only when the package cache is not shared.
This option has two possible values : KeepInstalled and KeepCurrent
With KeepCurrent, -Sc will clean packages that are no longer available in
any sync db, rather than packages that are no longer in the local db. The
resulting behavior should be better for shared cache.

These case insensitive comparisons didn't work in some locales, like tr_TR
where upper(i) != I. So a second case sensitive comparison had to be made
for each directive.
Only keeping case sensitive comparisons make the code cleaner and treat all

This will allow to keep man pages uncompressed, which is required for some

Download to *.part and remove the suffix if successful, thus md5sums will be
checked only for complete files, and next time makepkg will resume
downloading of partial file instead of complaining about invalid md5sums.
Old DLAGENTS format is still supported.
Late fix: Do not try to download %u first
The output of grep was not suppressed, thus the output of get_downloadcmd
was wrong because of extra line at the beginning that contained an
unsubstituted (with %o and %u) entry from DLAGENTS.

With --unneeded option 'pacman -R' doesn't stop in case of dependency error;
it removes the needed-dependency targets from the target-list instead. See
also: http://archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2007-October/009653.html .
The patch also adds a new causingpkg field to pmdepmissing_t which indicates
the to-be-removed package which would cause a dependency break. This is
needed, because miss->depend.name may be a provision. miss->causingpkg will
be useful in -R dependency error messages too.
[Xavier: renamed inducer to causingpkg, removed the _alpm_pkgname_pkg_cmp
helper function as requested by Aaron. This might be added by a further

Change the 'provname provver' format to 'provname=provver'.
In .PKGINFO, the provisions are copied from the PKGBUILD without quotes. So
the provision version was actually handled as a different provision...
See FS#9171.
Dan: Unfortunately we have to change our original specification for
versioned provisions with this patch, but it ends up being the simpler and
cleaner solution in the long run, and if there is any time to change it the
time is now before many packages have been built. Keeping the ' ' based
format would have required us to do special parsing in repo-add, as well as
being susceptible to users not using quotes in their provides array.
Hopefully this will resolve the issues we had with our initial plan. Sorry
for the confusion.

Commit 012f793978 was a bit misguided in its
thinking, and resulted in a package built without asciidoc enabled not
installing the manpages to the system on a 'make install' operation. Fix
this behavior by making manpages required in a normal build, and in order to
disable their existence, the '--disable-doc' option must be used.
Hopefully this solves manpage issues for both developers and package
builders while allowing as much flexibility as possible.

During a pacman operation such as a group install, pacman can ask several
questions such as "local version is up to date. Upgrade anyway?". They are
usually all answered either by yes or by no:
* yes when you want to reinstall all the targets.
* no when you only want to install the missing ones (either because you are
installing a group, or because you are copying a pacman -S line from wiki or
whatever).
So instead of asking this question for each target, it is now now configured
with a flag. Yes will be the default -S behavior, No will be achieved with
the --needed flag.
